Packers not expected to make offer to WR Jarrett Boykin

by Larry Hartstein | CBSSports.com

Packers wideout Jarrett Boykin is set to become an unrestricted free agent, and it's unlikely the team even makes him an offer, reports the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel. Boykin lost the No. 3 receiver job this season to rookie Davante Adams, who outperformed any Packers rookie wideout since James Jones in 2007.

Boykin finished the year with the same number of catches as drops, three, the paper noted.

If Randall Cobb re-signs with Green Bay, the Packers will enter 2015 with Jordy Nelson, Cobb and Adams as their three primary wideouts.

The Packers received contributions from several role players during Sunday's defeat to the Bills in Week 15.

Backup running back James Starks rushed for 19 yards on four carries and caught one of three targets for 10 yards. Andrew Quarless and Davante Adams were each targeted four times but finished with only one grab. Quarless caught one pass for a 7-yard gain, while Adams came down with a 6-yard reception. Jarrett Boykin and Richard Rodgers were each held without a grab.

The Packers backup pass catchers did little Week 13 against the Patriots.

Richard Rodgers had the biggest impact, picking up a 32 yard score in the first quarter. He finished with two catches for 35 yards. Running back James Starks had a bigger impact in the passing game, hauling in two catches for 34 yards. He had one rush, gaining 2 yards. Tight end Andrew Quarless also had two catches, but finished with 17 yards. Jarrett Boykin had one catch, picking up 6 yards.

The Packers received minor contributions from several role players in a comfortable Week 7 victory over the Panthers on Sunday.

Tight ends Andrew Quarless, Brandon Bostick and Richard Rodgers each came down with one receptions. Rodgers was targeted twice and finished with 1 yard while Quarless finished with 9 yards. Bostick had just 2 receiving yards. Kevin Dorsey was targeted twice and finished with one catch for 4 yards.

Meanwhile, Jarrett Boykin, who was active for the first time since suffering a groin injury, but did not receive a target in a 38-17 victory.
